Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 181: Let the Great Rift Open? Or Stop the Thirteenth Black Crusade?
After completing the final upgrade, the Pedan mothership was indeed extremely large. It could be said to be the crystallization of the entire Pedan civilization. Its diameter alone was a terrifying 200 kilometers.

Even its overall size is larger than that of the Imperial Fists' Phalanx. Now it is a real space fortress, and the number of conventional troops that can be deployed has reached about several million.

In addition to large, medium and small sizes of ordinary conventional Pedan spacecraft, this spacecraft is also equipped with four small motherships. These four small motherships are the same size as the previous 10-point upgrade.

It was docked at one of the four right angles of the spacecraft and could take off at any time. There was also a medium-sized mothership available on the upper left side of the spacecraft. This spacecraft was the same size as the medium-sized mothership that Rhodes had used before.

The changes to the Pedan mothership after this upgrade can only be described as earth-shaking.

This is more like a flagship-class spaceship, and if it goes out, it will be a fleet.

It is no longer a lonely ship, now it is a space fortress.

"So, Great Sage, do you think 46 Space Marines are not enough? I think my ship can accommodate several times more."

Rhodes was even very friendly and took Belisariukauer to visit the main control center of the spacecraft, allowing him to fully understand the parameters of this space fortress.

I learned that this space fortress can actually destroy a small planet with one blow.

However, this space fortress is still somewhat inferior to the largest spaceship in the Ao system.

For example, the flagship of Old Black in the Galactic Empire is of a true planetary size, and is a truly top-level ship.

"You really surprised me, Lord Rhodes." Belisariukauer's brain was a little frozen.

His flagship mechanical ark is 25 kilometers long, which is considered a giant battleship in the empire. Its tonnage and size are second only to the Queen of Glory class and the Emperor's Dream.

But this spaceship is even larger than the Empire’s largest ship, the Phalanx, and is also equipped with several other small motherships.

You want to say this is a creation of the golden age? Then he can accept it.

But this thing appeared out of nowhere, out of nowhere!

"So I told you, this is the true miracle of Om Messiah." Rhodes said.

“My Lord, I know what the Om Messiah is, so you don’t need to use such words to evade me.

I'll just treat it as technology from the Golden Age. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask about the origins of this giant battleship.

You are right, it can indeed hold 46 Primaris Super Space Marines, or even several times that number," Belisariukauer said.

As an old monster who has lived for ten thousand years, he understands it deeply.

Some things people will tell you when they want to.

If I don’t tell you, don’t ask too many questions. There is no benefit in knowing too many secrets. The less you know, the better.

"As expected of a great sage, you should regard it as a miracle of the golden age! This battleship will become my flagship for some time to come." Rhodes said.

"In the future! Could it be that, Lord Rhodes, you have a warship that is even bigger than this one?" The great sage of the Mechanicus felt like his head was about to explode.

Giant space fortresses like the Phalanx were created by humans during the dark technological age.

It was not built by the Empire, because the Empire simply could not build such a huge space fortress.

This space fortress was used by the Imperial Fists for ten thousand years, and even during the Great Crusade the arrival of this ship represented the coming of the Emperor himself.

In his opinion, a space fortress that is even larger than the Imperial Phalanx would take at least ten thousand years to build.

"Haha! Let's talk about these topics later! Now is the time for us to dig out those dormant Primaris recruits." Rhodes said.

"As you wish, my lord!"

Next, Belisarius Kaur began to get busy, first taking Rod's space fortress to the Kuiper Belt, the border of the solar system.

Then he found the 10 secret bases he had hidden, and sent all the Primaris Space Marines in these secret bases into Rhodes's Space Fortress Giant Sword.

Rhodes also donated his blood many times, allowing the great sage of the Mechanicus to begin cultivating new gene seeds.

He even put aside the idea of ​​going to the Golden Throne to chat with the Emperor and began to focus on transforming the Space Marine army.

In the blink of an eye, a month and a half had passed, a full month and a half.

Belisarius Kaur was busy all the time, and the Grand Sage of the Mechanicus took action.

Rhodes replenished a large number of culture dishes, and even added a few giant culture dishes for cloning Jetton.

The spacecraft began to cultivate the superhuman organs of various space warriors with all its strength, and Rhodes' gene seeds were produced continuously.

Then Belisariukauer and the scientists under Rhodes took the time to completely standardize the operation.

It was input into the electronic brains of those mechanical servants that had no intelligence, and then they were asked to start the transformation surgery.

After a full month and a half, more than 100,000 Primaris Super Space Marines were transformed.

However, there is a lot of preparation work in the early stage. Now that the production is fully programmed, the next transformation is estimated to be completed in a month, and by then the Golden Throne will be completely repaired.

Rhodes took the time to chat with the Emperor and told him about the 46 Primaris Super Space Marines.

The emperor's answer did not surprise Rhodes.

Mr. Huang said he was very happy and excited!
Even curse words were used.
"Damn it! Boy, you should add a few more zeros to the end!
Humanity now has so many enemies, including the Tyranids, the Orks, the Dark Eldar, and the Chaos enemy.

Never mind that damn bible, just use it to wipe your ass.

I just couldn't understand why that bastard Guilliman wanted to downsize his army?

When I invented the Space Marine surgery, my ultimate goal was to mass-produce this type of soldier. Space Marines are a type of mass-produced soldier.

I wish there were more and more mass-produced soldiers like this. During the Great Crusade, I managed to expand the legion to more than 200 million.

But ten thousand years have passed, and now the number of Space Marines has been reduced to one million. These high lords and the Senate are the biggest parasites.

They should all be shot or burned to death," said the Emperor.

"Hmph! Didn't you think this was right at the time? Implement it for a few hundred years first, and then change it after the empire is settled." The Emperor of the Dark Side jumped out and said.

"The Great Rebellion had just ended, but who could have imagined that something like this would happen afterwards?" said the Emperor.

Who would have thought that in the 40th millennium, so many evil enemies would suddenly appear.

Even if the number of Astartes increased dozens of times, he still would not feel it was enough.

“As long as we leave the throne, no matter what the enemy is.

But look at what you are doing now? You are letting people weaken my power. "said the Dark Emperor.

This kid has been here for 2 months, 2 months!
A large amount of dark power was absorbed by him, and he felt very weak.

"The Golden Throne will be repaired in another month. Then I will go to Macragge and wake up Old Thirteen.

When he returns to Holy Terra, you will be the one to endorse him. " Rhodes said.

Rhodes had already discussed with the Grand Sage Belisarius Cawl of the Mechanicum, and put on his Armor of Destiny, and set out together to Macragge to awaken the dormant Primarch.

"Okay! When Old Thirteen wakes up, I will send a living saint remotely.

Bring your emperor's incarnation with you and quickly change the status quo of the empire!" the emperor said.

If his plan succeeds, his other son will be able to return soon.

Rhodes nodded, stood up and left the golden throne, returning to his own space fortress mothership.

It is much more lively here now than before, with Primaris Super Space Marines walking around everywhere. After seeing Rhodes, all the Primaris Super Space Marines bowed to him!

Some called him the Father of Genes, some called him the Lord Primarch, and some called him Lord Rhodes.

After waking up, hundreds of thousands of awakened Primaris Space Marines immediately joined Rhodes' army.

Belisariukauer even prepared corresponding power armor and weapons for them, which were the Mark X series modular power armor. These weapons and equipment were also hidden in these bases.

Rhodes planned to find time to ask Helotia for help in upgrading this modular power armor.

Rhodes also handed over some of Pedan's ray weapons to the Grand Sage of the Mechanicus, asking him to make some modifications. These ray weapons can be used in conjunction with the grenade launcher.

That day Belisariukauer found Rod.

"Lord Rhodes, I'm afraid we can't go to Macragge as originally planned. We must first go to an exploration planet called Eliad 6."

Rhodes turned and looked at Belisarius Kaur.

Heading to explore the planet Eliad 6! This means the 13th Black Crusade has begun! After exploring this planet, the Great Sage should head to Cadia.
This was the 13th expedition of the Dark Warmaster Abaddon. Rhodes was very conflicted about this expedition.

Consider whether to allow the Great Rift to appear, or take action to thwart the Dark Warmaster's plot.

If the Black Crusade is stopped and the Cadia Fortress World is saved, there will be no civil strife in the Empire and the dark side of the Empire will not emerge.

Even if Guilliman wakes up and implements reform policies, he will encounter great resistance. After all, these Senates dare to make things difficult when the Great Rift opens.

Because no one in the empire, from top to bottom, thinks that this is the end of mankind.

There would be no psychic awakening, and the Emperor’s power would not increase.

Only when the Great Rift opens can the psychic awakening occur and the Emperor's power increase to the point where he can severely damage Nurgle.

So after repeated consideration, Rhodes decided to let the 13th Black Expedition proceed as usual. Without destruction, there is no construction!
The empire really needed to suffer a heavy blow, otherwise the Indomitable Crusade would not be able to proceed.
